Yes, theoretically...
From the tire specs given in the catalogs better use the revs-per-mile:
14.5R20 MPT80 = 490
365/80R20 MPT81 = 491
14.5R20 XL = 482
395/85R20 XZL = 446
395/85R20 XML = 448
15.5/80R20 XL = 448
Then with a simple rule of three:
50 mph x 491 / 448 = 54.8 mph
...
Rustygears: agreed to everything. Just one minor correction: Not 10 inches. Conti specifies 11"rim width for their 14.5R20 MPT80 and 11-12" for the little wider 365/80R20 MPT81.
As for these radials, I can speak from personal good experience.... and have said it before: this IS the ideal tire...
Very simple: if you (or the dealer) can't find the "MPT" anywhere in their catalog description or on the tire's side wall it is 99.9% they aren't...!
If in doubt ask the seller for pics; not only showing those letters, (raised/ moulded), but also the DOT date of manufacturing!

Those are MPT tires, just like the original Michelins and they perfectly match the A3 wheels.
Good general info here: Continental Industry -MPT tires

"Made...?" Custom made, yes.... 10" wide, 2 pc (bolt together) out of HEMTT, FMTV, 900series 5ton, etc. All needing to be "recentered" to fit the 6 on 8.75" Deuce bolt pattern.
